Ga - 6 Glycolic Acid Cream
Product introduction
Ga - 6 Glycolic Acid Cream is a medicine used to treat dry skin. It works by exfoliating the outer layer of dead skin cells, which can help to smooth rough patches and improve the skin’s overall texture. It also enhances the skin’s ability to retain moisture. This way it helps the skin feel softer and more radiant.
For best results, apply Ga - 6 Glycolic Acid Cream after cleansing your skin and before moisturizing. Apply a thin, even layer to the affected areas. If you are new to this medicine, start by using it every other day to see how your skin reacts. Apply sunscreen during the day when using the cream, as it can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.
Ga - 6 Glycolic Acid Cream is generally well-tolerated, however, it may cause mild redness, itching, or stinging, especially when first using the product. To minimize this, start with a lower concentration or less frequent use. If irritation persists or becomes severe, stop using the cream and consult your doctor.
Do not use more than directed, as overuse can lead to increased skin irritation. Avoid applying the cream to sensitive areas like around the eyes and on broken or irritated skin. Before using the cream for the first time, perform a patch test on a small area of skin to check for any adverse reactions. If you are pregnant, nursing, or have any underlying skin conditions, consult with a doctor before starting treatment.

How Ga Cream works
Glycolic acid treats dry skin by exfoliating the skin’s surface and promoting cell turnover. It penetrates the top layer of the skin, breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells and allowing them to shed more easily. This exfoliation smooths rough patches and helps the skin retain moisture better, leading to improved hydration and a more radiant, refreshed appearance.
